the rman backup script for weekly full backup and daily incremental backups with configure commands for oracle 11g database.
View 10 RepliesAny procedure which we can initiate an incremental backup without Level 0 backup.
View 9 Replies View RelatedOracle 10gR2 on 64-bit RHEL.Backup Strategy:There will be a level-0 backup of the database every Sunday and level-1 every weekday.Archivelogs will be backed up up every 30 minutes.
Q: How can I delete ALL the archivelog backups that were taken that day (every 30 minutes) right after successful completion of level-0 or level-1 backup?
I want to delete them because they may not be of any use after the level-0 or level-1 backup (am I right)?
7 of days ago Full backup has been taken to disk due to issues with tape devices.3 days ago tape devices have been fixed and we switched to CommVault managed tape backups. CommVault calls RMAN with following command:
run {
allocate channel ch1 type 'sbt_tape'
PARMS="SBT_LIBRARY=/usr/local/bin/simpana/Base/libobk.so,BLKSIZE=1048576,ENV=(CV_mmsApiVsn=2,CV_channelPar=ch1,ThreadCommandLine=BACKUP -jm 45 -a 2:71 -cl 9 -ins 9 -at 22 -j 294321 -jt 294321:4:1 -bal 1 -rcp 0 -ms 1 -data -ma 89 -cn oraclehost -vm Instance001)"
TRACE 0;
setlimit channel ch1 maxopenfiles 8;
backup
incremental level = 0
filesperset = 32
database
include current controlfile spfile ;
}
exit;
These backups done successfully.Then archivelog backup taken similar way.But when I issue RESTORE DATABASE PREVIEW SUMMARY; RMAN starts with Full backup set, though newer Incremental Level 0 ones are available.Why it does not use these newer ones?
Oracle 10.2.0.5 for Linux on IBM POWER
"If no level 0 backup is available, then the behavior depends upon the compatibility mode setting. If compatibility is >=10.0.0, RMAN copies all blocks changed since the file was created, and stores the results as a level 1 backup. In other words, the SCN at the time the incremental backup is taken is the file creation SCN. If compatibility <10.0.0, RMAN generates a level 0 backup of the file contents at the time of the backup, to be consistent with the behavior in previous releases."
So yes, that's it. Even in the Oracle 11g OCP course and exam, the information given is for Oracle 9 (pre 10g). Seems like a major functional regression.

Original problem.
Am I not understanding something about rman????
Using oracle 10g standard edition and rman.
No existing backups.
When I run repeated level 1 cumulative incrementals, the appear to back up everything (like a level 0 would).
My understanding is that if a level 1 is run w/o an existing level 0 backup, it will generate a level 0 backup.
All subsequent level 1 backups should be level 1's as expected.
If I explicitly generate an level 0, followed by level 1's it all works as expected.
I am determining what got backed up by the size of the resulting save sets.
Do I have to do an explicit level 0 and then explicit level 1's? I thought not.
We just purchased NAS (Raid5) unit to manage our data storage. I am planning to create a virtual partition on this nas device and use one partition for oracle data storage and another virtual partition will be used by other data (files and may be sqlserver data files....etc..)
We will have oracle installed on seperate oracle server. Can we use RMAN to manage incremental backups in this environment? May main worry point is that our data storage device will have many different type of datas and will we be able to tell RMAN to make backups only from certain virtual drives?
I have a RUN file within a script to duplicate a database. As part of this RUN file I also run the command configure controlfile autobackup off; as part of this RUN file. However, this command has turned off backup of the control file on the AUXILLARY database (i.e. production) as well as the TARGET database (test). Is this supposed to happen?
My run file is:
rman TARGET sys/XXXX@${DB}-SOURCE AUXILIARY /
RUN {
allocate AUXILIARY channel a1 type disk;
allocate AUXILIARY channel a2 type disk;
allocate AUXILIARY channel a3 type disk;
allocate AUXILIARY channel a4 type disk;

Here we have a dataguard environment with db1 as primary and db2 as physical standby database. We configured dataguard in 10g environments and we are not using grid control. What are the steps for configuring rman for incremental backups in this environment?
We want to schedule the backups to be taken in standby db, (that is applicable in case of switchover too). In the case of switchover to db2 what all do we need to do in rman manually to resume backups in db1?
Environment:
oracle 10.2.0.1.0
Windows XP
I have taken the RMAN Full database backup through the following command.My database is in no archivelog mode.
AT RMAN prompt
Shutdown immediate;
Startup mount;
run
{
allocate channel c01 device type disk format 'd:
man_bkp est_%U';
allocate channel c02 device type disk format 'd:
man_bkp est_%U';
backup full database tag 'full_bkup_test_081111';
backup current controlfile;
backup spfile;
release channel c01;
release channel c02;
}
Now i have deleted my all controlfile and spfile/Pfile from the database.So how can i recover my SPfile and controlfile? i do not have autobackup on of SPfile/Controlfile.
I am using RMAN with a recovery catalog option on a separate Database. My question is
When we use catalog does RMAN keep the information in Control file of the Target Database as well or only in recovery catalog? I am asking this in case We lost the database which contains the recovery catalog what to do?
Can the target database and the recovery catalog database be the same?
View 5 Replies View RelatedMy scenario is: database is in archivelog mode.
I run DLY cold backups including controlfile & archivelogs and keep 3 gens of backups and archivelogs to 3 days also. What is the correct procedure to restore back to an old cold backup. Database is backed up Mon,Tue,Wed on Thur we require to bring database back to Tuesday DLY security.
I have tried:
startup mount
restore database from tag 'DLYTUE'
recover database
( this just rolls forward on all archive logs once it restores datafiles, not getting to point to alter database open resetlogs.)
Next tried to :
recover database archivelog tag 'DLYTUE'
( same outcome )
What is the correct rman procedure including should I remove old archive logs from working OS directory ? Also need to know once I restore back and open database to TUE security how do you tidy up the archive logs and dumps which are no longer require i.e. : weds..
I have read about using the set until time option but how to I get absolute time from when cold backup completed if this is the correct procedure.
what could be the reason that following 2 (RMAN) commands return different results?
RMAN> list archivelog all completed before 'sysdate-2';
RMAN> list archivelog until time 'SYSDATE-2';
Can I register a database say MYDB in datacenter1 with two different catalogs i.e., I have one rman catalog a datacenter1 location and another rman catalog in datacenter2 location. So, can I register MYDB to rman catalogs at datacenter1 and datacenter2. If, so how can we keep rman catalogs at datacenter1 and datacenter2 in sync. For MYDB rman backups I just want to use local rman catalog which is datacenter1. But I just want to keep a redundant copy of the rman catalog.

RMAN is not removing obsolete backups and now the backup directory is nearly full.Retention policy is 1, however, there are backups more than 6 weeks old still in the backup directory.crosscheck and delete obsolete commands run every night, and I have also run these manually, yet the backup files still remain.It is like RMAN is not aware of their existance.How can I confirm that RMAN does not need them and therefore delete them manually using OS commands.

How to restore database if rman catalog corrupted and we we dont have bacup of catalog db ..all the backup info are stored in catalog db for prod databases.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a live server on which Oracle 10g Database is running. We take full RMAN Backups everyday. Now we want to restore the RMAN Backup file from the Live server to another machine (which is going to be a test system). I want to restore the latest RMAN backup on the test machine (which is not on network).
When I copy the RMAN backup set in the flash recovery area of the test machine and then use "list backup", the backup set is not listed. I also tried "crosscheck backup" and then "list backup" but still the backup set does not appear. how can I register the backup set from live server into test machine and then restore it.
I have a problem in running delete obsolete or report obsolete using rman. Although the retention policy is set to "CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 60 DAYS;", when running delete obsolete or report obsolete it deletes or returns all the backupsets till sysdate. What should I do to solve this issue?
View 8 Replies View Relatedis it possible to have a vss snapshot backup on the top of an RMAN backup. Because the link [URL] says that we can have an incremental level 1 backup on the vss snapshot backup.
So I need to know if interoperability between RMAN and VSS exists or not.
Also is it possible to have mixed backups meaning vss snapshot backups and rman backups. Whenever we take snapshot backup, is it updated in the control file?
I am trying to learn about RMAN Incrementally Updated Backups. I created a database on Server A with the parameters and configurations as shown in image attached. I would like to restore full database on Server B (Test DB).The Server B is exactly same in directory structure as the Server A
e.g. ('E:archive','E:incr_backup'). I would like to automate this process so that it updates the Server B on daily basis for R&D purpose.
I have four Oracle 8i databases that can not be removed because of client requirements. These 8i databases have there own RMAN catalog which is 10G (Originally there were Oracle 8i, 9i and 10g databases using it but are now moved to 11g catalog). Databases are backing up fine. However, all the other databases are using the RMAN 11g Catalog. I want to point the Oracle 8i databases to point to the RMAN 11g recovery catalog. I created an 8i schema, however, i'm getting the following error message: RMAN-06429: RCVCAT database is not compatible with this version of RMAN. however, I wanted to put the question out there to see if there are any work arounds.
